Nilanjana Purkayasstha talks about the success of ‘Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii’

Storyteller and writer Nilanjana Purkayasstha is happy with the positive response the show Dhadkan Zindaggi Kii (DZK) is getting from the viewers. Nilanjana says, “Someone said on Twitter that the show makes them think. There is something in every episode that makes them sit up and take notice. That is the biggest compliment we could have asked for.”

It’s rare to have one-hour-long episodes for a daily soap. “The show required longer episodes to be able to do justice to the multiple tracks. The risk was taken by the channel. We just could not write it in half-an-hour. As makers, we feel it paid off because the narrative is engaging, fresh, and we could explain things as we had 60 minutes,” she adds.

DZK airs on TV as well as streams on OTT at the same time.
